President Trump is pushing false claims about the 2020 election ahead of this year’s midterm elections.

In an interview with Here & Now‘s Scott Tong, Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar says that Trump and his allies may even attempt to interfere with the results in some states.

Aguilar is the chairman of the Democratic Association of Secretaries of State. He says it’s up to each state’s top election official to push back and secure their elections.
